STRUKTOL® SCA 98 and SCA 985 are silane coupling agents for use in rubber compounding.
When used in rubber compounding, they provide coupling of non-black pigments to the polymer
backbone allowing for:
Improved abrasion resistance
Higher compound modulus
Lower hysteresis
Improved compression set
Improved rolling resistance in tire tread compounds
The theory for their effectiveness is that the silane portion of the molecule couples with OH
groups on the silica and silicate surfaces in non-black pigments. The sulfur portion of the mole-
cule is available for curing activity and can enter into the vulcanization mechanism. The SCA 98
is a tetra-sulfide silane while the SCA 985 is a di-sulfide silane. When the SCA 985 is used as a
1:1 replacement for the SCA 98, a reduction in the cured modulus and maximum tensile may be
noticed. This can usually be regained by increasing the sulfur level in the final mix pass.
Part or all of the non-black filler should be dispersed with the STRUKTOL® SCA 98/SCA 985
in the first mixing stage. The remaining ingredients should be added after the silane coupling
agent and the filler have been incorporated. Curatives should be added in the last mixing stage.

Because of the sulfur present in the STRUKTOL® SCA 98/SCA 985, it is necessary to control
the maximum mixing temperature.
